This Christ-centered blog is designed to serve stroke survivors, families and friends, through sharing experience and faith. My own stroke came on May 8, 1998. God provided medical professionals, friends, fellow believers, and strength to get me through some struggling recovery times.

Another survivor's story

The inspiring story posted on the Nashville Tennessean's Web site is a good read for Stroke Awareness Month.

The writer suffered a massive stroke in 1994 - at age 36 - ending his ability to speak and left him "for all intents and purposes, a quadriplegic."

He could have called it quits, but instead founded The Stroke Network, designed to provide "support and information to stroke survivors, caregivers, family members and anyone whose life has been affected by stroke." There's also a link to the StrokeNet Blog and talks about, among other developments, how the founder "developed a close and loving relationship with God."

Note to readers

This blog stands for faith in God and better stroke awareness. Everyone should be aware of stroke signs and know what to do. The life you save may be your own. Toward that end, stroke survivors and families are invited to share comments or stories. This is not designed to give anyone medical advice - we might talk about stroke care in general but always, always seek appropriate medical advice.
